ANYWAY SOLUTIONS BRINGS TOGETHER INDUSTRY LEADERS IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES TO DISCUSS CLIMATE-RESILIENT TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

In response to the urgent need for climate action in the Philippines, AnyWay Solutions Ltd. (AnyWay) held a full-day symposium to discuss climate-resilient transport infrastructure challenges and solutions.

The Symposium was held on Tuesday, April 17th, at the prestigious Mind Museum, where 180 delegates from government, policymakers, engineers, and contractors gathered to listen to and participate in a discussion on addressing the Philippines’ transport needs. Knowledge was exchanged on current practices and practical solutions to help strengthen infrastructure and the overall economy (i.e. technology solutions, including satellite technology and the role of AI) and opportunities to integrate climate-resilient solutions into transport infrastructure projects.

Esteemed guest speakers such as Secretary Borje from the Climate Change Commission (CCC), Prof. Mikail Chester from Arizona State University (ASU), Prof. Michelle Rubido Palumbarit- UN CIFAL (UNITAR), and Department of Works and Highways (DPWH), Secretary Bonoan by Assistant Secretary Constante Llanes, to name a few, graced the stage. Everyone was aligned with common goals to share knowledge and encourage action for a better climate-resilient future that supports progression towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

The event was moderated by Philippines News Anchor Mai Rodriguez, and the speakers were rounded out by multiple AnyWay Solutions subject matter experts. Alex Campbell, Director of Engineering Solutions, and Zeevik Halber, AnyWays CEO, introduced a holistic approach to climate-resilient transport solutions, including transport design, pavement engineering, asset management, satellite technologies and the future of AI in transport infrastructure engineering.

With transportation networks serving as vital lifelines for communities, the symposium achieved its goal of raising awareness and mobilizing resources to bolster the resilience of these essential systems and protect the economies by reducing disruption to industries and people’s livelihoods. Delegates left with a renewed sense of responsibility and increased knowledge to address the critical issue of climate change and its impact on transportation systems across vulnerable regions of the Philippines.

“We are at a critical juncture in addressing the impacts of climate change on transport infrastructure,” said Zeevik Halber, CEO at AnyWay Solutions. By bringing together leaders from all these groups to a one-day symposium, AnyWay demonstrated its holistic approach to climate resiliency beyond mere engineering. Policy making, sharing advanced technologies and techniques, capacity building, and broader awareness are all necessary elements critical to creating climate resiliency. Together, we can make a difference!”

AnyWay Solutions Receives Recognition from PNG – A Proud Moment

We are excited to share that AnyWay Solutions was awarded a certificate of appreciation from the Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The certificate was presented by the Prime Minister and Minister of Roads to recognize AnyWay’s outstanding work in supporting the Connect PNG initiative.

Connect PNG, led by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Roads, is focused on improving the country’s transportation network to withstand climate challenges. AnyWay Solutions played a pivotal role in assisting PNG in achieving its goals by using innovative engineering solutions, advanced techniques, and cutting-edge technologies to upgrade and rehabilitate more than 350 kilometers of roads, thus making them resilient to the effects of climate change.

This recognition showcases the immense dedication and expertise of the entire AnyWay Solutions team. Their commitment to sustainable and resilient infrastructure development has not only fulfilled the government’s vision but has also brought about tangible positive impacts on the communities and industries relying on these vital road networks.

The certificate of appreciation reflects the trust and recognition bestowed upon AnyWay Solutions by the Government of PNG. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts and strong partnership between AnyWay and the government, working hand in hand to achieve the shared goal of building a more resilient and connected nation.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the Government of Papua New Guinea, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Roads and the Secretary of the Department of Roads and Highways for their vision, support, and trust in AnyWay Solutions. It is through such partnerships that we can overcome the challenges posed by climate change and create a brighter, more resilient future for all.” – Zeevik Halber, CEO

As we celebrate this achievement, we are reminded of the critical role that climate resiliency plays in infrastructure development.

Together, we can build a world where transportation infrastructure not only connects people and places but also fosters sustainability, resilience, and prosperity.

Keeping up with growth in Africa by rehabilitating highly distressed roads

Keeping up with growth in Africa by rehabilitating highly distressed roads

Ghana Recycled Road

Africa is projected to see the greatest growth of any continent in the world between now and 2050. However, the current pavement infrastructure in most African communities is in poor conditions and not ready to accommodate these population growth projections. The regions are trying to find ways to improve road infrastructure networks proactively.

Cost-effective solutions to help future-proof road networks
Investments in infrastructure now can help regions to capitalize and prepare for population growth. Instead of rebuilding roads using difficult-to-procure, expensive materials, rehabilitation is often a good solution to improve road networks with less time and capital investments. Rehabilitation of highly distressed roads using recycling and stabilization can be an effective long-term strategy for pavement performance to withstand rigorous climate impacts. Lifecycle costs are minimized using this method as it is less costly to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of rehabilitated roads.

Rehabilitation of highly distressed roads in the developing world using hydraulic soil stabilization, performance monitoring, life cycle costing and climate resiliency during a ten-year monitoring period.   –  Presentation by Alex Campbell, Director of Engineering Solutions
April 26th, 2023 @ 2:00 PM GMT

During this presentation, we will draw from our projects in other areas that have experienced dramatic climate events. After rehabilitating these roads using recycling and stabilization, these roads provide a high level of service that has stood the test of time a decade later, proving to be in good condition.   

Improving economies through transport infrastructure
Better pavement infrastructure is noted to lead to better GDP of a country and result in improved economic, social and health benefits. Roads are critical to the livelihoods of communities and it is important to safeguard them against variable climates and design them with future population and traffic increases in mind. With rehabilitated, climate-resilient roads, communities have the best chance to maintain road function and provide efficient movement of goods. With continued access to transportation helps the regional economy, which in turn helps the country.
